Tuesday night GJV. Press is on I am at Division line ball pinballing all over place. Ball pops out A1 & B1 pop out . A1 drives B1 steps in. I am at two feet from endline and four feet from layup. Crash-I had no call i couldn't see that either player got there first so my call was basically a no call. From out in the neverlands we have a Tweet. i look towards the sound . Its my partner in front of the bench of the team furthest from the action. He makes the Player Control call. I look at partner-gym goes dead silent. I say to him at next dead ball " you can't make that call " He flips out on me. "He has been reffing rec ball for years" (I can tell . it shows) . People fall down he is gonna make that call everytime . So now this thread shows up a little too late to help but now I have tools for next time. Varsity ref ( Di, JUCO) shows up right before halftime. Partner makes call from baseline-play is at division line -I am at division line . Varsity ref asked him about the call . he goes off in the locker room at Varsity ref. I get my own personal halftime show. At one point i thought I was going to have to break up a physical fight.
I know on this board there are Refs who do a good job at rec ball. In our area rec/high school refs are NOT one and the same. I can go to subvarsity, without knowing the refs and point out the ones who have done rec ball. The End

Obviously I didn't see the play, but if you have a big crash you probably need a whistle. Those are called game savers. If they got there at the exact same time it would depend on LGP ect. Read the board to see how to call the block/charge correctly.
As far as addressing "vet" officials who are calling in your primary, I always learned keep your mouth shut and your ears open. When being evaluated they will get there comments and as far as moving up get yourself on tape so you can see what you can do better. If someone makes the wrong call, i.e, traveling when a player is dribbling, you just have to smile and go on.
One way you can talk to a player who wants to know why they got a foul that your partner called you can just respond with I'm not sure what my partner saw, you will have to ask him/her.
